60+ year old thread.

Just got an update on my truck: It was originally scheduled for production on 1/22 - it was actually produced on 1/17, left by rail on 1/18 and the train was in Avon, Indiana yesterday. It is scheduled for rail arrival on 31 Jan with arrival at the dealership between 2/3 and 2/10. We're making progress!

 

Just for you Rob@MQQSE....Happy Hour 2 drinks for the price of one...

 

Front row, multiple width stripes, thankyouverymuch!

Hi back Rob Three.

 

Oh, missed you down there. Were you on some kind of day release from prison back then?

 

I am the only one smiling on the back row.

Welcome James! You will like it here.

 

Someone was thirsty!

 

Morning Folks .
Another day closer Mark.

 

Good morning all!

You bet, Ken!! At our age, I hate to wish days away....but......damn, I'm ready to drive that new truck!

 

Good Morning

He's drinking for two.

You are going to love it!

 

Yes I was Gary. In years past when there was a lot less traffic on the Island and I was still young and foolish, we would go to Happy Hour and 4 or 5 of those rum filled drinks later drive back to our hotel. No more...too much traffic and wiser now.

 

Speaking of short time, I am leaning heavily towards calling it sometime this year. There are a couple of financial incentives to hang around for another few months, but after that I am thinking I will walk away. I have a lot of stuff I'd like to be doing this year and my vacation days don't cover them all! Not the greatest reason I guess but I need something to push me over the edge. Financially I'm ready, but my job is pretty sweet and the paychecks don't hurt even a little bit. So I need a shove.

 

THAT is exactly where I am.

 

On a day off............remodel the bathroom she says, strip the room, tear the oak out, tile guy coming Monday............nothing wet, no leaks, no stink, seal intact......................must have been some rot before........brastards..........plus a couple of the planks were glued and nailed. Holy smokes.....kicked my ass. Room is clear. Joists are fine, just need to get some subfloor plywood. I used to do this crap when I got home from work till odark. Not anymore. Should hireadude. Beat.

 

Just do it. As long as you’ve worked out the finances, do it. I retired 6 years ago from a high paying high stress job. I don’t regret my retiring for even a second. I’d rather watch paint dry than go back to work. Be sure that in addition to a financial plan you have a plan of what you plan to do. I have numerous things that keep me busy. I love fishing, hunting, boating, reading, gardening, traveling, projects around home and on and on. I stay way busy and love it. If you don’t have hobbies or things of interest you love to do then you may just waste your retirement sitting around watching tv. So make your financial plan and your social plan and go for it. (A friend of mine retired, got bored had no real hobbies or interests, and went back to work at age 68. He found a job as a VP in an engineering firm, earning big bucks. Ain’t no amount of $$ that would interest me in going back to work)

 

Good morning, everyone!! Just about 5 months left until I retire. I will certainly miss my team and the students just as I miss the Army...but not the stress and pressures that go with leading the college. I'm ready to step back and enjoy the fruits of all the hard work Lynn and I put in over the years and spend more time together. We've got a few trips scheduled for the last half of the year and I'm looking forward to cutting the grass when I want to - not on Saturday or Sunday because that's when I can. Life is good.

Oh, and I'm one day closer to getting the new Tacoma.

 

Good Morning folks.. Hope you all have a good day.

Sounds like you are definitely ready for full time porch (retirement) duty. It is nice to be able to do what you want when you want(with Lynns okay of course )and enjoy life. Life is good.
for one more day closer to new Tacoma day.

 

Some folks just don't get the idea of removing snow from your car before you drive it not after you hit someone. Good reason to have a dash cam. Takes a few seconds to load.

I can't see out of my windshield. What could go wrong?
